[MP757]

Are they talking about the new Wilco course in this description or is this a completely different place:

My tax dollars finally working for me instead of for the PD .

[MP757]

That's awsome! Hope they hurry up and get these put in the ground, the more courses in central tx, the better! Isn't it great we get a new course every couple of months? Ha ha Ha everyone else that doesn't live in TEXAS!!! Just kidding, but seriously we live in the greatest disc golf state!!!!!

which 9 hole course? are you talking about the pitch and putt at Bagdad and Osage? if so its a teeny weenie community course..

[lilbigarm]

the bagdad course is mostly tore up for some kind of construction right now. just fyi.

[MP757]

which course do you speak of at "bagdad"?

[nix]

9 hole pitch and putt is supposedly a private community course on the corner of bagdad and osage.

[jparmley]

Vinnie, you were right. Ben Brook rules! I shot even and felt pretty **** good about it considering all the water hazards. I've submitted the course info to the PDGA so they'll add it to the directory. Is anyone planning on holding a weekly or monthly mni there? And speaking of monthly minis...when is the Wilco mini? I'm closing on my house in Cedar Park and I'm 10 minutes away from both course....talk about luck!

[MVP]

Someone that knows the layout should do a rough sketch on papar and I'll scan it and have it in my email for anyone that wants one. I know I need one.

[seewhere]

wilco is 1st sunday of the month.

[Lala]

Is anyone planning on holding a weekly or monthly mni there?

Not yet, but it sounds like a great addition to the Sunday schedule. Hate to take it off the Rock another Sunday, but maybe we could make it the 4th Sunday?

1st Wilco
2nd RR
3rd Rivery or BB (how long will Rivery be clean)
4th BB or RR ??
5th RR

Sounds like a good topic - still haven't seen the course. Let's start the conversation tonight.

[rtbob]

When some one has a minute could they please post directions to the new Ben Brook and Manor courses?
Lets do it from Hwy 79 and OSP entrance for us geographically challanged ppl like me.

[seewhere]

FYI CenTex - Ben Brook DGC is one of the best in the area. Great course design which incorporates water on 12 of the 18 holes. Very similar to Kyle DGC in design and distance with a creek running through the entire course. There is a mix of tunnel and open shots and the course actually has very little cedar (hell yeah!). I just posted the course on the PDGA Course Directory and it should be approved shortly. Here are the directions:

From Austin - take I35 North to FM1431. Turn left (west) and go to old 183. Turn right (north) on old 183 until you see the new HEB Grocery. Turn left (west) on FM2243 until Bagdad Rd. Turn right (north) on Bagdad - course is approx 2 miles on your right.

The boxes are shredded cedar and the course is a little hard to navigate - an experienced golfer should be able to make their way. Make the road trip - combine Ben Brook and Wilco into an all day affair. They're only about 12 minutes from each other.

[lilbigarm]

turn right onto palmer off 1431 and you won't have to spend all day in cedar park at red lights

[jparmley]

Ahhh, but be careful if you use this route. Parmer...err Ronald Reagan HWY will take you directly to FM2243. But once you hit old 183, 2243 ends without you knowing it. If you go straight, you go into a neighborhood. 2243 is split just like Hwy 290...you must go up old 183 (north) and turn left on old 2243 (by HEB). This is why I provided the directions like I did....

[rtbob]

OK. Thank you all for the input. On Ben Brook. Anyone know where the Manor course is?

[rtbob]

Another Question: Is there such thing as a putt putt course for disc golf? If not I just made one. Complete with alot of trees and a water hazzord. Distances range from 27 ft to 57 ft.
Course record after 10 rounds is - 2. Ace'em all pot is up to $25.00. Cost is FREE! (except MyCarroll) All holes are par 2.
So I guess I have the newest course in Texas!

[vinnie]

manor ain't open........

[rtbob]

My friend Tony claims to have played it?

[rtbob]

My course is sheltered from the wind. All boxes are marked with distance. Bring your putter and improve your game if possible (Vinnie). Ace'em all pot got's ur name on it so far!

[jparmley]

They never really opened it...The course is ready to go and some lucky people got to play it over the past two weeks, but the city/county wanted to install some other items in the park before the grand opening and asked Waterloo to spread the word that the course is still closed for another couple of weeks. If you go out there, they will kindly ask you to leave. We're getting close though...

[seewhere]

manor has not offficially opened.

RT how many holes you talking about??

[seewhere]

nice map picaso

[rtbob]

Oh and by the way, When your done playing my grueling course you are welcome to sit in the water hazord as long as u like!

[rtbob]

I could fit only 9.
